CINEMA
INTERNET
Together with another blogger
Airputih.or.id
Initiated Dec 2004 by Indonesian Internet Provider. As a hub of Indonesian
Public Journalism and disaster volunteer worker.
Summary
Disasters always a public interest, most of people would like
to know and to understand what was happened.
In the internet and social media become an important role
during and also before and after the disaster breaking.
Geoscientists have important role on explaining what is
happening.
BLOG is one of the media which provide most of we need on
spreading disaster information.
BLOG will be read not only during the disaster, but become a
learning subject.
Future role of social media should be included in the disaster
mitigation. Not necessary internet but also SMS (Short
Massages)
